  • It is now recognized as an autoimmune thyroid disease and is characterized by high titers of circulating antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin. (cap.org)
  • In the normal U.S. diet, iodine intake is about 250 micrograms or ¼ milligram (mg) of iodine per day, which goes into the thyroid cells and is incorporated into amino acids called tyrosine (in a large thyroglobulin molecule). (cdc.gov)
